Downtown Weekend

My life flows on in endless song;
Above earth's lamentation,
I hear the sweet, though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation;
Above the tumult and the strife
I hear that music ringing;
It sounds an echo in my soul—
How can I keep from singing?

Premiered at the Royal Academy of Music on January 13 at 5:00 pm, part of "Ives in Conversation" at the Students Create Festival
Arrangement of the hymn-tune by Robert Lowry
